Re: 29 MAY 1940

Hello Malcolm,

You describe yourself as ‘not a greatly experienced researcher’ but certainly seem to have been diligent and thorough in covering all available sources of information on these events. As a consequence, I regret I have no additional sources to offer you.

You query some specifics. My source for stating that LAC Dillnutt was wounded was the excellent Coastal Command Losses by Ross McNeill. And as for assigning the Luftwaffe claims to the two Ansons lost on May 29, 1940, this was purely arbitrary on my part so it is possible that I may have them transposed though, of course, it remains equally possible that I have not.

I hope this helps. Thanks for your comments on my book.
